To begin you must download Development tools and the Emulator off of the Vircon32 github in the Computer software repo. Once downloaded you should unzipped into a folder. Once unzipped go into both Emulator and development tools and sudo download all required libraries. Once you have the required libraries you will have to read the readme.txt and follow the steps in both Emulator and Developer tools folders if you only do one or the other you will only get one or the other so remember to do both! Once you have done both you will have to go into your bashrc and put a path to the developer tools. If done correctly you should be able to run Vircon32 just from typing it in the command line. Once you have that installed if you don't know much about Vircon32 you should look at the hello world tutorial in the console software repo.
